也许是悬疑片看多了，其实电影在看到三分之一的时候，就已经猜到了结局。结尾那颤抖的陀螺开始发生晃动，但就在你满怀希望的那一瞬，电影结束了。不禁一声叹息，原来都是徒劳了，这不过就是Cobb的一个梦。
一层梦，两层梦，三层梦。在梦中做梦。有过，很少。那种感觉是奇妙的。梦中逃离了恐怖，醒来擦一把冷汗，吁叹着“现实怎么可能会发生这样的事儿呢”，然而再次醒来，竟瞪大了眼睛，真的迷惑不解了。
走在街上，看着一张张陌生的脸孔，这个世界，是否都是由潜意识创造呢？一切的曲折、离奇、残酷，一切的华丽、唯美、纯洁，一切的对立物，一切所知所感，真实的就像梦一样。这不是造物主似唯心地自夸，而是渺小生命探索过程中产生的困惑。
我们是否也生活在梦中，每天被陌生的人追赶，和毫无相关的人擦肩而过。如果生活是一个孤独的梦，就像一场繁华的演出，可演员只有自己，一切的路人、店铺、真理都是我们潜意识创造出来的场景，这恐怕就不单单是孤独和恐怖二词能够形容的了。
梦中的人，分不清自己是在梦中，像一个孤独而偏执的灵魂，不可释怀。梦与现实颠倒的世界，人们思想的倒置。做梦，相信感觉，所以坚信梦中是真实的世界，而现实只不过是梦而已，这多少有点庄周梦蝶的意味了。
有时候会想，因为是梦，那么梦中的人是不会死的。索性在梦中来一次自己平日不敢做的事，比如跳崖，比如大吵一架，用以发泄平日挤压的灰色情绪。但感觉往往出卖了我们，进入梦境之后，感觉是真实的，虽然我们不记得梦是从哪儿开始，也不知道自己为什么在这儿（就像我们的人生），但在梦中遇到危险的时候，还是本能地去躲避；被利器伤害的时候，还是会吼叫；在梦中赤裸而被人看到的时候，还是会惊恐地遮挡。我们就这样自然地进入了角色。
电影里说道，你可以凭借着你的意志去创造这个世界，发挥你的想像，创造一个复杂的迷宫。梦中的车道可能不是直着延伸到尽头的，而是构成了一个方框，车从我们的面前经过，又滑过我们的头顶在我们的背后停下来。但是什么才是正确的，或者说什么才是你的参考系呢？因为你所处的世界是这样：楼房是规规矩矩的长方体，太阳东升西落，天空只能存在着气流和云以及一些微不足道的动物。就因为这个去评判世界是对是错么？每个人都有一套自己的标准，只不过你接受了这一种同时就否定了汽车能开过头顶的可能。如果你一出生所有人都告诉你绿色其实应该叫做红色，那么等你长大了也许会觉得说绿色是绿色的人都是错的。
世界是三维的，但若以时间为第四个轴，那么世界就是四维世界。不同的“我们”生活在不同的时间维度里，忽而想起《Triangle》里的“三位”女主人公（其实有更多），她们是同一个人，却在同一个空间相遇了，那么便是时间轴出了问题，她们的经历应该是依次顺延而彼此独立地，而她们却有一部分重叠在了一起，就像是奥迪车标中环环相交的部分。而梦就可以看作是打破这一“依次顺延彼此独立”规则的作弊行为，去利用现实的5分钟去梦里和逝去的人来个再度约会。
若我生活在梦中，已经接近了20年，那么我不会选择醒来。记忆开始的地方，就是梦开始的地方，那么我应该是3岁就开始了这个梦。显然，我不记得它是怎么开始的，但是我真切地感受到了这个世界。真实世界也好，梦世界也罢，我在这个世界中寻觅其中生存的法则，感受周围人对我的情感，我用了20年的时间，想明白了很多问题，若真是梦了，也值了不是么？即便周围的一切都是虚幻的，即便在梦中死后就可以回归真实，但真实又能怎样，很可能就是梦中梦而已，若要我回到3岁重新活一遍，那么我拒绝。
庄周梦蝶，还是蝶梦庄周，不管是作为什么样的做梦的主体，只要更潇洒幸福，为何不梦下去呢。
现实5分钟，第一层1小时，第两层7天，第三层50年...5分钟变为50年，伴随而来的是越来越多的稳定剂才足以保证它的真实感。但若注入了太多的稳定剂，那么在梦中死后就会被禁锢在潜意识边缘，唯一的方法就是穿越（利用失重和撞击）。如果你怀疑所在世界的真实，不用像Mal那样跳楼，试着失重一下跌倒在浴缸里，看看能否惊醒，那么也就行了。
想一想，整个的整个是Cobb的一场梦，假定那是他最初的最浅的梦，那么现实的他是怎样的呢？会不会仅仅是一个年轻的少年，午后熟睡的一场春秋大梦呢？因为是梦，一切的一切都可以是创造的。Cobb的身份、工作、外貌、家庭、国别、还有那个梦中梦的传说。这个梦是Cobb所做，更是克里斯托弗•洛兰，最是每个看过影片的你。149分钟，我们一起做一个梦。
PS：真的没有库布里克导演的《闪灵》诡异，穆赫兰道就更难懂了。其实盗梦真的很容易懂，同时推荐难度不是很大的《恐怖油轮》（又名《Triangle》《迷失三角洲》），很精彩，能够启发关于时间和空间的思考。
又PS：听说有人在电影院看完电影等片尾字幕都结束后看到了陀螺倒下的一幕（或是只有声音？）这个有待考证，不过国内很多电影院都不太负责人，直接掐掉了，遗憾了。
最后附上电影中的经典台词。
1. You're waiting for a train - a train that will take you far away. You know where you hope the train will take you, but you can't know for sure. But it doesn't matter, because we'll be together.
- Cobb
2. What is the most resilient parasite? Bacteria? A virus? An intestinal worm? An idea. Resilient... highly contagious. Once an idea has taken hold of the brain it's almost impossible to eradicate. An idea that is fully formed - fully understood - that sticks; right in there somewhere.
- Cobb
3. Cobb: What do you want?
Saito: Inception. Is it possible?
Arthur: Of course not.
Saito: If you can steal an idea, why can't you plant one there instead?
Arthur: Okay, this is me, planting an idea in your mind. I say: don't think about elephants. What are you thinking about?
Saito: Elephants?
Arthur: Right, but it's not your idea. The dreamer can always remember the genesis of the idea. True inspiration is impossible to fake.
Cobb: No, it's not.
4. Cobb: You create the world of the dream, you bring the subject into that dream, and they fill it with their subconscious.
Ariadne: How could I ever acquire enough detail to make them think that its reality?
Cobb: Well dreams, they feel real while we're in them, right? It's only when we wake up that we realize how things are actually strange. Let me ask you a question, you, you never really remember the beginning of a dream do you? You always wind up right in the middle of what's going on.
Ariadne: I guess, yeah.
Cobb: So how did we end up here?
Ariadne: Well we just came from the a...
Cobb: Think about it Ariadne, how did you get here? Where are you right now?
Ariadne: We're dreaming?
Cobb: You're actually in the middle of the workshop right now, sleeping. This is your first lesson in shared dreaming. Stay calm.
5. Cobb: You create the world of the dream. We bring the subject into that dream and fill it with their subconscious.
Ariadne: How could I ever acquire enough detail to make them think that it's reality?
Cobb: Our dreams, they feel real while we're in them right? Its only when we wake up then we realize that something was actually strange!
6. Eames: Do they come here to sleep?
Thin Man: (Looking at Cobb) No, They come here to be woken up. Dream has become their reality! Who are you to say, otherwise?
7.Mal: What are you doing here?
Ariadne: My name is...
Mal: I know who you are. What are you doing here?
Ariadne: I'm just trying to understand...
Mal: How could you understand? Do you know what it is to be a lover? To be half of a whole?
Ariadne: No...
Mal: I'll tell you a riddle. You're waiting for a train. A train that will take you far away. You know where you hope this train will take you, but you can't be sure. But it doesn't matter. How can it not matter to you where this train will take you?
Cobb: Because you'll be together.
8. Ariadne: When were you in Limbo?
Ariadne: You might have the rest of the team convinced to carry on with this job but they don't know the truth.
Cobb: Truth? What truth?
Ariadne: The truth that at any minute, you might bring a freight train through the wall. The truth that Mal is bursting through your subconscious. And the truth that as we go deeper into Fischer we're also going deeper into you. And I... I'm not sure we're gonna like what we find.
Cobb: We were working together. We were exploring the concept of a dream within a dream. I kept pushing things. I wanted to go deeper and deeper. I wanted to go further. I just didn't understand the concept that hours could turn into years down there. That we could get trapped so deep. That when we wind up on the shore of our subconscious we lost side of what was real. We created. We built a world for ourselves. We did that for years. We got our own world.
Ariadne: How long were you stuck there?
Cobb: Something like fifty years.
Ariadne: Jesus. How could you stand it?
Cobb: It wasn't so bad at first. Feeling like gods. The problem was that I knew that none of that was real. Eventually, it has became impossible for me to live like that.
